I know it’s not easy or viable for a lot of people, but folks really should try to embrace the private tracker world if they can because it involves a lot of moderators who help prevent malware from being uploaded to begin with by having strict rules. It’s not completely perfect and not everything gets caught, but it’s got more safeguards than a public site without a moderation queue.
Actually folks shouldn’t embrace the private trackers they make finding content harder, make regarded rules (like you can’t seed these files on another tracker), and feed ego of moderating pricks.
What do you recommend to find a private tracker? A while back, I tried to find one, but none of them were available for new users. Granted that I haven’t used torrents in a while.
Opentrackers.org posts open signups. TorrentLeech is at least as good as the public ones, and it has open signups a few times per year.
Otherwise, you can apply/interview for RED and a few others, work your way up through the ranks, and use the invite forums. This is how you get to the really big and really good trackers. But it’s also a lot of time and effort, which most people don’t want to do.
You might get lucky on the open signups. Every top-tier tracker was once a tiny site with no users. If you join and contribute, they could be the next big thing, and you joined with minimal effort.

So deal with Reddit style mods and hoops and maybe you can do exactly what you are already doing? No thank you.
Torrentleech periodically opens signups. Can’t speak to any others personally
